Bio-Formats
Read image pixels and acquisition metadata from many microscope formats and export to formats such as OME-TIFF.
Best fit
Researchers opening instrument files in downstream software or preparing standardized microscopy exports.
What you need
A compatible host application such as Fiji or a Bio-Formats installation for programmatic or command-line use.
What to check
Metadata coverage varies by file format. Check that dimensions, pixel sizes, and channel labels survive conversion.
